Boating in Playas del Coco with Marcy

December 21, 2017 By Sammi 71 Comments

When it comes to the ultimate beach vacation in Costa Rica, Playas del Coco is one of the best places to do so. At first glance, the beach is not that impressive and what people don’t know is that right around the corner are stunning white sand beaches that you can have all to yourself.

The only way to enjoy these beaches is to go on a private boating tour in Playas del Coco since most of these beaches are boat access only. The Gulf of Papagayo is huge and there are so many hidden beaches that you can spend days exploring them all.

We’ve gone boating in Playas del Coco many times and in our experiences, our favorite memories have always been with our friend Marcy who owns a boating company in Coco.

About Marcy

Marcy is a Costa Rican who has been living in Coco for over 20 years. He grew up Escazu but his outdoor loving parents took him to Guanacaste every holiday and school break.

20+ years ago, there weren’t the amount of tourists in Coco like there is now and they enjoyed the pure beach life. It was these childhood memories that made him move to the coast and go out in the ocean as much as possible.

Fast forward to today, Marcy now owns his own boat company in Coco. He surfs as much as he can, fishes when he gets a chance and takes people out on his boat so they can discover the tremendous beauty of the Gulf of Papagayo.

Playas del Coco Private Boat Tours

Marcy offers different types of boating tours. They are:

Beach hopping and snorkeling
Fishing
Surfing

He runs private tours only so you will have the boat for your group only.

Gulf of Papagayo Boating Tours: Beach hopping and snorkeling

First of all, boating in the Gulf of Papagayo is incredible. Every time we go beach hopping with Marcy, we have an amazing time.

You can ask him to take you to the best spots or he will take you to the best beaches. A few of our favorites are Playa Penca, Huevo, Palmares, Junquillal and Jicaro.

Wildlife

In addition to beach hopping and snorkeling, you can see lots of wildlife. During certain times of the year, you can see whales, dolphins, turtles and manta rays.

He doesn’t run specific whale or dolphin tours but the rich waters of the Gulf offer many wildlife watching opportunities. We usually see dolphins and manta rays when we go boating in the Guf of Papagayo!

Furthermore, during July – December, you can see whales and turtles because it is their breeding and migration season. (You can read more about Costa Rica wildlife and whales in Costa Rica).

Watch our short snorkeling video to see what it’s like!

Extras

Marcy also has some extra toys he can bring for an additional charge.

He has a wakeboard and tube which are both really fun. The wakeboard is a bit harder if you’ve never done it before. Due to that reason, I recommend the tube if you want to have some extra fun. But both are perfect to add a bit more excitement to the trip.

He can also bring an SUP board (dog not included).

Surfing

Marcy is a surf addict and goes out to 2 of the best spots in the area: Ollie’s Point and Witch’s Rock. Both spots are suitable for intermediate to expert and he checks the tide every day to see what time is the best according to the level of his clients. Marcy has been surfing for most of his life and is one of the best locals to go with as he knows these two spots inside and out.

Ollie’s Point and Witch’s Rock are generally better for intermediate surfers however so if you have never gone surfing before, he can take you to Tamarindo to give lessons instead.

Fishing

Lastly, Marcy does fishing tours, mostly in shore fishing along with jigging. The last couple times we went in shore fishing we caught a couple tuna!

Have an amazing time with Marcy

If you want to experience Playas del Coco with a local, check out Marcy’s Gulf of Papagayo boating tours. His boat is comfortable for up to 6 adults and his experience and knowledge of these waters is priceless. Most importantly, he is fully insured and is a licensed boat captain.

Above all, we love supporting local companies and businesses. When we were introduced to Marcy, we certainly knew that he was one Tico we had to share with our readers. Experience the real pura vida when you go out on the waters with an ocean loving Costa Rican. Trust me it’ll be a memorable day!

Watch our video below to meet Marcy!

I am just returning from a trip in Costa Rica (from 5/24 to 5/28). We went on a boat tour with Marcy on 5/26 and it was amazing. Marcy was very nice/sweet, flexible and patient. He showed us the best spots and let us take all the time we wanted. The water was beautiful. It was raining unfortunately but the water was still dark (because of the rain) blue. We had a great time, thank you very much for the recommendations and I recommend Marcy!

We had the luxury of having Marcy take us out in his boat for a sunset snorkel cruise. It was one of our favorite days while in Costa Rica. Marcy is knowledgeable, helpful and a perfect gentleman/tour guide. We are a group of 6 middle age ladies and he was very patient and helpful of us getting in and out of the boat. He made sure we had a good time and that when we were snorkeling he kept a good eye on us. I highly recommend you booking with Marcy and enjoy all the beauty from the water. We got to experience beaches we would not have seen and all the wildlife in the water were amazing. On the day we were out we got to see sting ray jumping and it was the highlight of the whole day….. Well the sunset was pretty amazing too!!!

My family booked a half day snorkeling tour with Marcy in February. I just wanted to leave a review because we had an amazing time. We stopped to snorkel in several spots and saw a variety of marine wildlife including dolphins and rays. This activity was one of our favorites for the whole trip and we would do again. Enjoy your vacation in Costa Rica and book this tour!

This is a must do when visiting the area. We had @mytanfeet set this up for us on December 27th, 2018. The beaches and water colour are out of this world. It was my favourite day of the week while visiting Coco.

This is an excursion you will never get tired of and one that we will do every time we come back. If you are booking during the peak season make sure to book well in advance of coming down. Marcy was booked out for several weeks.

Thanks to @mytanfeet for setting this up. Marcy met us on time and it was easy to identify his boat.

Booked a beach tour through this website with Marcy and it was great. It was my wife’s birthday the day we took the tour. My daughter was with us and it was great to have the boat to ourselves. Marcy asked if we could move the pickup location to Playa Del Coco due to the higher waves in Playa Del Hermosa. It was a great tour. Never felt rushed. We saw several other tours being rushed around and missing the beautiful scenery. We snorkeled at two different spots and saw some turtles and rays besides plenty of fish. On one of the beaches saw a group of monkeys. Marcy never rushed us at all. We could snorkel or sit on the beach as long as we wanted to. We did the full day. We brought some sandwiches and snacks. He had plenty of water, beer and sodas. When we come back this is one tour we will do again.

  Hi Greg! Marcy doesn’t operate scuba diving tours, he only does snorkel. If you guys want to do scuba diving, I recommend going with Rich Coast, Summer Salt or Deep blue, those are the most popular diving shops in Coco. If you would like to do a fishing/wakeboard and snorkel tour, he can certainly do that. Let me know!

Sights included mating sea turtles, stingrays, feeding a family of monkeys at one of the beaches, and all kinds of sea life. It was a great experience for all.

  Hi Jessica, hmm all of the boating companies I know can usually only fit around 4-6 people. There are bigger boats like the Arroyo Adventures or the Booze cruise one. You may be able to check out Surf Fin Tours, they have a 52′ foot boat and they do charters, I’m not sure how many people it fits 13 people and do snorkel/fishing but you can ask.

  Hi Cathy, Marcy doesn’t operate out of the Conchal area, he only operates out of Papagayo Gulf and Conchal is too far. You guys can rent snorkels at Conchal beach or take a snorkeling tour.

Will be heading to Costa Rica the last week in November. Looking at Arenal and Samara area. A boating trip to explore hidden beaches sounds amazing. I was wondering if its feasible as a day trip from Samara to Play Del Coco to do the trip with Marcy? Also what would pricing be for two people? Thanks!

  Hi guys, Samara is too far for Marcy (Samara is like a 3 hour drive from Coco) he only does pick ups in the Gulf of Papagayo so you need to go to Playas del Coco, Ocotal, Hermosa, Panama, Four Seasons beach, etc. Let us know if you decide to head up north and we can help you book a boat tour 🙂

    Thank you for your feed back! We will be arriving Nov. 28th around 2pm until Dec.5th and will rent a car. We can drive to that area from Liberia. We are interested in less touristed beaches and more local feel as well as Arenal area, waterfall, hiking. I’ve read many of your posts but I just can’t decide!

      Hi Delilah,
      
      If you stay in the Gulf of Papagayo, let us know and we can help you book a tour with Marcy. Shoot us an email here: https://mytanfeet.com/contact-us/
      
      It is hard to decide since there are so many beautiful places in Costa Rica, but the Guanacaste coast and Arenal are two really great places especially for first timers.

Sammi,
I’m so happy that I came across your web site! Tons of great info. We took your advice and booked a day with Marcy on the Silver Bullet several weeks back. Fantastic Day on the water! Marcy took us to some amazing spots, many only accessible by boat. This was the highlight of a trip full of highlights! I certainly plan to return to Guanacasta and will definatly try to spend a day on the “silver bullet” with Marcy. If anyone’s going to Coco don’t pass this opportunity up!

Hi Aisnley, rates depend on how many people there are, if you want to do half or full day and what you want to do. I’d contact him asap because it’s high season in Coco and he books up fast. Tell him we sent you 🙂

Also if you like, we can contact him for you. We just need the date you want to go, how many people and what kind of tour you’d like. We can get in direct contact with him so it may be faster than FB if he’s out on the ocean 🙂

Hi Cam, you can message him on his Mystic Rides Facebook page, he usually answers pretty fast.
